“The innovations we’ve made so far have happened because our teachers possess a growth mindset and always put the kids first.”

About Us

Growing Learners. Growing Leaders.

Hiawatha College Prep-Kingfield (HCP-Kingfield or HCP-K) is part of Hiawatha Academies’ network of high performing college-preparatory schools focused on closing the opportunity gap in Minneapolis. Hiawatha Academies was founded by civic leaders, parents, educators and business people who want our scholars to receive an education that demands their best in behavior, attitude, and effort, and that challenges them to achieve to their highest potential.

HCP-Kingfield is a middle school serving 360 scholars in grades 5-8. Our scholars frequently out perform students at neighboring schools, as well as district and state averages.

We offer a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and excellent teaching practices to ensure maximum student growth. Throughout their four years students receive a core course load of science, English language arts, mathematics and elective classes including physical education, art, choir, and technology.

Curriculum: We have adopted the common core standards for literacy and math as well as the next generation science standards. Students work towards mastery of those standards through our core curriculum. English language arts uses EL Education Curriculum, Math uses Eureka Math, and Science uses Amplify.

Uniforms:We wear uniforms to unite us as a community, present an equitable learning environment, and reduce distractions. The HCP-Kingfield uniform consists of khaki slacks and royal blue HLA-Northrop branded polos.
